We strive to produce finely detailed investment cast parts at an affordable price for the detail oriented live steamer.  All of the parts are cast from bronze or aluminum.  In order to keep the cost as low as possible all of the castings are sold in unfinished form.  These means that the purchaser will have to file off the sprue tab and may have to clean up a small amount of flash.  In most cases holes will be spotted but will have to drilled and tapped as required.  Most people prefer to have the lower prices and spend a little time doing some simple filing to finish off the parts. NOTE:  Due to the nature of our investment casting process, some parts may be periodically out of stock.  We try to keep all of our advertised parts in sufficient quantity but sometimes we just can't keep up.  Please be sure to inquire about our current stock before placing an order.  Your patience is much appreciated.

Klasing Bellcrank:  These brass bell cranks are investment cast with the highest level of detail.  If you look closely you can see the "Klasing" name cast into the part.  The bellcrank connects the rod coming down from the brakewheel housing to a piece of chain connected to the truck brakes.  When the brakes are applied, the bellcrank rotates and takes up the slack in the brake chain along the groove shown in the picture to the left.  This piece provides a nice way to mount the bottom of the end of the chain from the brake wheel housings.   Price:  $5.50/piece
